The battle, which saw a Something Awful-affiliated faction overwhelmed by Reddit-affiliated players and an impromptu group of allies, resulted in the destruction of ships worth tens of thousands of real-world dollars.

A Titan pilot of the ClusterFuck Coalition (a splinter of SomethingAwful’s notorious GoonSwarm) was attempting a “bridge” – which essentially allows other ships to warp to one ship’s point – but instead warped himself. Right into extremely hostile Pandemic Legion (a splinter of HoneyBadger/Test, aka, Reddit) territory. And when ships as valuable as Titans are involved, well, the stakes tend to get quite high. Naturally, everyone panicked. Reinforcements were hastily phoned-in, and then those reinforcements cried for reinforcements.
